Pumpkin coffee cake

I’m so excited that it’s almost pumpkin season! The weather is starting to cool off a bit and fall is just around the corner. I’m absolutely in love with fall and especially love fall baking! I look forward to making lots of delicious pumpkin recipes and this pumpkin coffee cake is no exception!

I took one one of my favorite coffee cake recipes and added a pumpkin spin on it. This pumpkin coffee cake is delicious straight out of the pan. The pumpkin spiced streusel on top is what makes this pumpkin coffee cake recipe truly divine. The maple glaze is optional, but I totally recommend it. It adds the perfect sweet touch to the cake. You will become obsessed with this pumpkin coffee cake recipe!

Around Thanksgiving, I usually make my favorite pumpkin cake, but I knew I wanted to make a pumpkin coffee cake recipe before then. I made this streusel coffee cake 3 times in the past couple weeks (to get the recipe just right). I tested it in a 9×9 pan, 9×13 pan and a muffin pan. If you’re looking for a thick cake (like the photo above), bake the pumpkin coffee cake in the 9×9 pan. I think my favorite way is in the 9×13″ like I did in the video below. It’s not quite as thick and has just the right amount of crumb topping. It also serves more people, which is always a plus!

Pumpkin coffee cake muffins

This pumpkin coffee cake recipe can also be used to make muffins. All you need to do is fill the muffin liners about 2/3 of the way full (I like to use a large cookie scoop). Then add about a Tablespoon of the crumb topping to each muffin. You’ll bake the muffins at 375°F for about 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean. Be careful not to brown the tops too much. Makes about 16 pumpkin coffee cake muffins.

My kids loved the muffins as well, but I think the streusel coffee cake version is still my favorite. Nothing like getting a slice of pumpkin coffee cake with cold glass of milk! This mouthwatering pumpkin streusel coffee cake will sure to be a hit at family gatherings this fall. Enjoy!

Comments

Okay, so I had the ingredients (minus white sugar) and decided to make it anyway- and I subbed applesauce and maple syrup for it. The cake isn’t very sweet as I did this, but the taste is pretty good. Although next time I would use less pumpkin pie spice, by about half. It is a bit much for my taste. Overall though, this is a pretty good coffee cake. I’ll have to see what the family thinks when they get home.

The cake and the muffins look scrumptious. I do like how the muffins look in the brown papers. I’ve visited your site many times before and am always amused by your blog name. My guys are in their 30’s now, but I’ll have to agree that I too loved naptime. How I wish I could have them back to that age once in a while, but they’re both fine adults and I love them that way too.
